Recently I finished reading a book called The Magic Feather Effect: The Science of Alternative Medicine and the Surprising Power of Belief by Melanie Warner. The book was titled in reference to the magic feather given to Dumbo by Timothy Q. Mouse.

In her book The Magic Feather Effect, author and journalist Melanie Warner investigates alternative healing [1]. She observes and interviews different patients and practitioners with respect to acupuncture, energy healing, chiropractors, and more. Warner raises the point that healing can happen in numerous ways.
